Chipboard Buttons Live Tutorial + New Video

Hi, everyone! Welcome back to Life on the {Scrap}beach!

I wanted to let those of you who are interested in seeing more of the chipboard buttons know that I will be creating some during the Thursday Scrap Chats over on my UStream channel. There will be two live cropping sessions this Thursday: 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. These times are all Miami, FL USA. So if you're interested in seeing them coming together, check out one of those scrap chats!

I also uploaded a new video over on my YouTube Channel of an altered composition book. I was having some problems with my camera during recording, so there are some parts missing in the decorating phase, but you will see how to cover the composition book.

Hi Kathryn! I, too, like altering notebooks. I use Mod Podge as well, which helps protect the surfaces. I like how neatly you did the corners and edges. Ordinarily, I just cut the paper to the exact size as the covers, but now having seen how much nicer it is to miter those corners and fold the edges in, I'd rather do it your way.

I have done it both ways ~ wrapping the corners and cutting it with a craft knife to be the exact size of the cover. I like this way better because it's not that much more work & there's less chance of anything catching and peeling up. It makes me feel like I can be rougher with the book ~ take it in and out of crop bags, purses, totes, etc.
